Excerpt from The Packing of Apples in Barrels and Boxes In Eastern Canada, the greater portions of the fruit will be shipped in barrels for many years to come. The culls and lower grades should be shipped only to the evaporator, the canning or vinegar factory. A large proportion of the remainder can be sent to market with advantage, in barrels. Only a small proportion of the fruit will pay in boxes. This must be a Fancy grade or a No. 1, strictly graded to size and colour. Barrels, therefore, still maintain, and are likely to maintain, their pre-eminence as a package for apples.
